New Orleans, Louisiana
Mardi Gras, or Fat Tuesday is the final day of Carnival, which begins on the Feast of the Epiphany, Jan. 6. Made a Christian holiday by Pope Gregory XIII when, in 1582, he put it on the Gregorian calendar (the 12-month one we still use today). He placed Mardi Gras on the day before Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. That way, all the debauchery would be finished when it came time to fast and pray.
